How do I select a new calendar as a "writable calendar"?

Thunderbird 24.3.0/Mac OS X Mavericks/Lightning 2.6.4.
I have a calendar set up to sync with an Internet cloud service (not Google; not iCloud). This calendar has worked fine for me for months and I have many calendar events and tasks on this calendar. All of those can be modified and I can create new calendar entries, but I cannot create new tasks.
On the Task window, in the New Task field, I see an error message that says "Please select a writable calendar". But I can't enter anything in that field. I can create a new local calendar and move existing tasks from the current calendar to the newly-created one, but I cannot find a way to create any NEW tasks on the existing calendar or the newly-selected calendar. Is there someplace I can select this new calendar as the default for tasks? It would be even better to keep tasks on the synced calendar, but I'll settle if need be.

Tasks are not covered by any standards of formatting and almost inevitably do not synchronize. Thunderbird/ Lightning does not synchronize tasks with Live or gmail either.
SoGO claim to have it working with their open source tools.

ICal Lion is infuriating. How can I add a new event in a chosen calendar without having to create it in my default then edit it?

We are all entitled to our own opinions. So I respect you there brother
But then again, Apple has its own basis. iOS is what's selling like pancakes not Macs, so if the gazillions out there are using iOS device and have gotten used to the calendar in their iOS devices. Wouldn't you think it made sense if Lion has the same calendar look and feel?
Everything was considered and weighthed when they developed Lion. They even mentioned it in the press, They were blown away with the success of iOS so they are extending it to OSX.
Quite frankly, I like the old iCal but yeah I don't expect anything in SL to stay in Lion otherwise it'll be another Cat name related to Leopard
People should start looking at this perspective and not get STUCK in the old OS.

How do I get my new Mac to sync existing calendar appointments from my Iphone 3gs?

I have set up Mobile Me on both my phone and the Mac, and it is syncing new appointments, but I can't get existing appointments from my phone on to the Mac. Thanks, Rachel

You will need a program such as Senuti or PodWorks to transfer the other tunes back to the Mac.
The iPod is one way affair except for purchase tunes/video.

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.
Colin

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

New owner here. How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages. What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only. Thanks much.

New owner here. I see that in printing I can select one page and print same. How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time. Thanks much

Just change the range as illustrated below. If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

After I update my calendar on my PC how do I get the new version on my iphone and ipad and not the version currently there?

Hi Kirbs13,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Your calendar should automatically update if you're using iCloud. If it is not, see this article for troubleshooting steps:

How can I create a new color in the calendar?

Good day,
I wanted the to create a new color in the default calendar from Apple, but I do not know how that goes.
Perhaps someone can explain to me how this works.
I would be very grateful for any advice.

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

How can I add a new calendar (on PC) to what is synced to iPhone?

I have two calendars in Outlook 2010, one of which is new. Only the original calendar syncs with my iPhone. How can I get the new calendar to sync with the iPhone?

My Internet service just went out so I'm responding on my phone. To eliminate iTunes as an issue, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components by following this guide exactly (uninstalling all components, and in the specified order): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstall iTunes (64-bit) and try syncing again. This will only install the application and won't touch your iTunes library or data.

How can I select a date to view in Calendar while I am in month view?

I am looking at month view in Calendar on my iPad. I touch a date. Intuitively, I expect that date to open up in Day or Week view, but it doesn't! On my iphone, it works just fine. Am I missing something?
How can I select a date to view while in Month view and have it go to Day or Week view?
Thanks for any help.

I would try this:
In Lr import one photo into a different folder that you can see in the list.
Then in your OS (mac Finder / Win Explorer) move the photo to the folder that you cannot see.
In Lr the photo will now appear with a question mark on its frame. Click directly on the question mark and select <Locate photo>. Navigate to the folder, open it, and click on the photo.
Maybe this will help Lr to recognize the folder.
If this doesn't help try renaming the folder in your OS.

How do I select multiple calendars?

Somehow iCal has given me multiple -- as in hundreds -- of "untitled" calendars (a sync issue?). I want to select and delete a whole bunch of them at once. Otherewise it's a painfully slow process of selecting and deleting one at a time. Any ideas how I can select multiple calendars? Holding down the shift or command key doesn't do it.
iCal is hobbled by memory problems until I clear out these uninvited calendars. I get the spinning ball, for instance, if I try selecting a different month.

Paste this into Script Editor's window, click Run, and go for a cup of coffee. It worked here to delete a dozen newly-created untitled - don't know what it will do for you, so it might be an idea to doa backup first.
tell application "iCal"
          set Them to calendars whose name starts with "Untitled"
          repeat with ThisOne in Them
delete ThisOne
          end repeat
end tell

How do I selectively erase old data from old computers on my Time Capsule to make room for my new computer data?

My new computer did one complete backup on the Time Capsule now I get the message that there is insufficient room to complete further backups.
(128 GB available, my backup size is 170GB but the time capsule is 998GB)
I suspect that information from old computers is there. How do I selectively remove that information or do I have to erase the whole Time Capsule and start over with my new computer and backup again?

Check the info here.. but big warning .. it often fails.. if you want to keep your old backups archive them off the TC to USB drive.. then erase and start fresh clean backup.
